Ugh You Got Me

Guy BIT OUT other guy's eye and the game calls it a "social" fight lol.

For the one-shots - I've had a beefed up sanguophages and vanilla expanded hussars one shot others in social fight, but then again for hussars they get mood bonus from social fight and are resilient if they fight each other and their xenotype literally says to keep them away from other colonists so zoning them in barracks alone works, and if I make op temperamental angry vampire and let her mingle with my genie wimp crafters I can't blame her for not being able to control her strength imho.

But I like the changes the mod makes as is, sometimes I'm watching vanilla social fight and checking the health tab and thinking surely you'd strop by this point irl.

If the kidney is a silent organ I don't think there is anyone on Earth that would stop a fight after it's destruction lol

that is a very funny thing to think about

@hoteldoor The only way to stop that from happening is if the social fight never starts. Like, we detect that a colonist can insta-kill someone in one hit, and make them an ineligible participant for a social fight. I'd have to look into it and see if it's possible to do.

@hoteldoor - Who could have possibly foreseen the natural consequences of using OP mods?

One of my colonist has 400 fist dps and a new recruit had a social fight with him, which results in the recruit instantly dying. Is there a way to make it so that its impossible for social fights to lead to death?

I don't know how often the game checks to see whether a social fight should continue, but when it does check the mod will have a combatant give up if a body part is damaged past a certain threshold. Even bloodlust pawns will accept a surrender.

An instant kill is a possibility, but it's unlikely because you would need a colonist who does a lot of damage in one hit.

@Sleepless Homunculus I ran a test in dev mode for you. I had two masochist,tough,bloodlust pawns that hated each other have fights in a 22x15 walled in sandstone room. Weapons are not used in social fight regardless. And in multiple attempts, I conclude it is possible for them to be downed bleeding and crawling to bed, but they never dismembered body parts. They were both competent fighters and I was using Charactor Editor for the purpose of testing: the amount of damage varies randomly.

TL;DR
The can still be downed and bleeding. I believe the mod protects from dismemberment.

DISCLAIMER
From I don't have knowledge if they can still die, <storyteller mechanic is "Colonist instant kills %> maybe the author could elaborate whether that is indeed possible at all?

Or downed.

If two masochist / bloodlust pawns go at it, one is gonna end up dead?
